Dallas Public Library
[edit]The city of Dallas is served by the Dallas Public Library system. The system was originally created by the Dallas Federation of Women's Clubs with efforts spearheaded by then-president Mrs. Henry (May Dickson) Exall. Her work in raising money led to a grant from philanthropist and steel baron Andrew Carnegie, which enabled the construction of the first branch in 1901.[1] Today the library operates 25 branch locations throughout the city [2] including the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, the eight-story main branch in the Government District of downtown.
